In our feature two-part series this week John Sumser lays out the questions that HR departments should be asking (but aren’t). Don’t miss the newest addition to our ongoing Skill Gap series, Skills Gap 5 – The Future is Here. Plus, our resident lawyer and editor Heather Bussing has an important update on the FTC’s […]
If your company is involved in social media, or if your employees blog or tweet as part of their work, they need to remember the FTC’s transparency requirements. The Federal Trade Commission is the consumer agency that brought you “truth in advertising.” Okay. They’re still working on it.
In this week’s feature What Law Applies to Your Virtual Workforce?, Heather Bussing explores the tricky intersection of local employment law and virtual workers who are located in other states. We welcome Jeff Dickey-Chasins aka “The Job Board Doctor”, to the HRExaminer.com Editorial Advisory Board. Be sure to read Jeff’s post Job Board Evolution. John Sumser has three stories – Skills Gap 4: Undercapitalization, Recent Demos, and Five Links: The Unevenly Distributed Future. Enjoy!
As technology makes it easier to work from anywhere, companies can hire employees based on their skills without concern for where they are. But for employment law, geography matters.
Skills Gap: We started The Skills Gap series with last week’s The Hiring Paradox. This week’s issue is dedicated to the topic. We begin with a must-read post from China Gorman called Skills Shortage or Inflated Job Requirements?. We continue with John Sumser’s posts Skills Gap 2: Outsourcing, and Skills Gap 3: The Pace of Change. We finish the series with Five Links: Skills Shortage – Skills Gap. While unrelated to the Skills Gap series you’ll want to read Heather Bussing’s wonderful article on dealing with fear and anxiety – Good at Terrified.
“I’ve learned to just invite fear along for the ride. I give it a little attention, tell it some jokes, and ask it, very nicely, to stay in the backseat. When the fear is insistent, I listen to what it’s trying to tell me.” – Heather Bussing

We’re starting a series this week on the Skills Gap with John Sumser’s article, The Hiring Paradox. Bob Corlett joins us to discuss The Amazonification of Recruiting and Heather Bussing has the Employer’s Holiday Guide. Heather also has Trash your Policy Manual — content from her speech at HR Reinvention in Omaha. We round up all the little doggies with Employment Branding and then Five Links: Roundup which features articles about managerial insight.
If your company is short on funds this year, take the money you would have spent on a party and give it to the employees. There is nothing more demoralizing than going to a fancy lunch to learn there won’t be holiday bonuses this year.
Progressive discipline is demoralizing to the employee, requires you to set them up and forces everyone through a stupid process that never works. It disrupts everyone because the employee gets angry and bitter and tries to get everyone else to agree with her.
Gamification isn’t a term you want to use in polite society. What’s behind all the noise? John Sumser’s post outlines the central issues in this week’s feature Gamification III.
